In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

Inside the law firm, Kensuke Komikado poured a glass of water and handed it to Miwako Sato.

"Thank you, Attorney Komikado."

Sato Miwako spoke, her tone lacking the previous assertiveness, instead displaying a more submissive, feminine demeanor common among Tokyo women.

"Officer Sato, you came all this way to see me, is there something you need? Is it related to a legal issue?"

Kensuke Komikado inquired.

"Attorney Komikado, you already guessed it?"

Sato Miwako's voice carried a hint of surprise.

Kensuke Komikado nodded: "Generally speaking, Officer Sato, you won't come to my law firm unless you have something important to say."

"Besides, you yourself seem to dislike lawyers like me who help 'criminals' make clients, right?"

Komikado Kensuke had a slight smile on his lips, emphasizing the word "criminal."

Miwako Sato lowered her head and said softly.

"I'm sorry, Komekado-kun. I misunderstood you before, but this time, I need your help to someone and to accept his request."

Apologize?

Kensuke Komikado gently shook his head.

"Officer Sato, I don't really care about apologies or anything like that, or if there was no misunderstanding, I don't care either."

"But you should have heard about the conditions I set for commissioning cases, right?"

"I know. The criminal case requires ten million yen, and I've already prepared it."

In Tokyo, most criminal case representations cost less than two million yen, or involve hiring a legal aid lawyer.

Only Kensuke Komikado's criminal cases start at a minimum of ten million yen, a price that deters many people.

However, those who know the details are well aware that Kensuke Komikado's price is not considered expensive for certain cases.

Because of Kensuke Komikado, criminal penalties can be significantly reduced, or even acquitted.

Miwako Sato understands this.

When Kensuke Komikado heard Miwako Sato accurately state her terms of service, he wore a professional smile.

"Now that Officer Sato knows my terms and has prepared them, what kind of criminal case do you need me to handle?"

Sato Miwako breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Komikado Kensuke agree to her request.

She already knew that Kensuke Komikado was a money-loving person.

But to her surprise, Kensuke Komikado was so fond of money that he readily accepted her request.

"Let's say it's an attempted murder case."

Sato Miwako spoke slowly, and Komikado Kensuke, seeing the uncertainty in Sato Miwako's expression, spoke up as well.

"Is there some hidden story behind this case?"

"You noticed?"

"I didn't want to notice, but Officer Sato, your expression was too obvious. It was hard for me not to notice."

"Okay, there is indeed a hidden story."

"As the lawyer in charge, I need to know the whole process."

After all... Officer Sato, you know how dangerous a criminal lawyer is; one wrong move and you're in jail.

Criminal lawyers can easily lose a case if they are not careful in court.

Furthermore, they may also be misled by trusting the client or believing the evidence provided by the client.

If false testimony or statements are made, the lawyer will also be held jointly liable.

Kensuke Komikado is able to maintain a 100% win rate because he never makes mistakes in such situations.

Miwako Sato understood Kensuke Komikado's concerns and nodded, "I know."

"However, this story begins three years ago."

Miwako Sato became lost in her memories and recounted the entire process of the case.

Two years ago, shortly after joining the National Police Agency, Miwako Sato encountered a case.

This case is a rape case.

A high school senior in Tokyo reported to the police that she had been assaulted by her idol.

Upon receiving the call from the police center, Miwako Sato and her colleagues rushed over and subdued the assailant.

The perpetrator was a manga artist named Kazuo Takahashi, who was somewhat famous in the Tokyo manga industry and was popular among many junior and senior high school students.

After attending a manga symposium, Takahashi Issho and Kataoka Yumi were alone in a room.

Then, Kataoka Yumi accused Takahashi Issho of raping her.

However, the two did not actually have a relationship.

Miwako Sato, who was the first police officer to arrive at the scene, failed to see through Yumi Kataoka's lie, which led to Issho Takahashi being sentenced to two years in prison.

nowadays.

After Takahashi Issho was released from prison, he learned Kataoka Yumi's address and then murdered her. He was arrested today.

Upon learning of this matter, Miwako Sato immediately went to Komekado Law Firm.

They requested that Kensuke Komikado serve as Kazuo Takahashi's lawyer and participate in the trial defense.

After learning what Miwako Sato had to say, Kensuke Komikado nodded slightly.

"This case doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it."

"But I have a few questions I need to ask, Officer Sato, you don't mind, do you?"

"Komikado-kun, may I ask you a question?"

"First, why are you helping Takahashi Issho?"

Sato Miwako remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"When I first joined the police department, this case helped me earn merit and become a rookie police officer."

"But I was unable to help Takahashi Issho clear his name, and I feel very guilty."

"After you learned the truth, did you help Takahashi Issho?"

"Yes, I have spoken with high-ranking officials in the police department about the suspicious points in this case, but they don't believe me."

Instead, they believed the high school student, thinking he wouldn't lie, and thus convicted Takahashi Issho.

Tsk.....

Prejudice!

Even a three-year-old can lie, so how could a high school student not lie?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is really outrageous; they actually chose to believe a high school student.

Moreover, according to Sato Miwako's description, Kataoka Yumi did not have any substantial relationship with Takahashi Issho in this case.

This can be judged?

Kensuke Komikado shook his head. It seemed that Takahashi Issho was having a bit of bad luck, which could be described as an unfortunate experience.

"The second question is that, in this case of attempted murder, Takahashi Issho has been arrested."

"As a police officer from the National Police Agency, you should be able to help Takahashi Issho to some extent, at least by proposing a settlement."

"After all, Yumi Kataoka did not die, nor did she suffer any substantial irreversible damage."

"But why did you come to find me immediately?"

When asked by Kensuke Komikado, Miwako Sato answered without hesitation.

"Because this case was handled by the Beika Police Station, the entire investigation process was legal."

"Takahashi Issho's crimes are clear, and the only way to reduce his sentence is through legal means."

"That's why I came to find Komekado-kun as soon as possible."

Beika Police Station....

Another case handled by Conan?

Upon hearing this answer, Kensuke Komikado smiled slightly and extended his hand.

"Officer Sato, I'll take this case."
